Pros:

Everything was fantastic. The layout was great allowing for privacy and shared times together

Cons:

There was quite a bit of mould behind the hand basin.

Also the microwave in the bathroom was a bit strange

Pros:

Tolles Hotel mit spannender Kunst. Gute Lage und grosser Parkplatz.

Cons:

Leider einfach nicht sauber. Das Badezimmer war schmutzig und einfach etwas lieblos behandelt. Schade, denn eigentlich ist die Einrichtung toll, aber es ist einfach schmutzig.

Really good except the key problem
Pros:

Good location and reasonable price

Cons:

The key cards weren’t ready on arrival so we had to wait for staff to let us into the room so a bit of waiting around with heavy bags

My latest stay would be well over the tenth time I have stayed at the Watson, for good reason
Pros:

Great facilities in room. Great location for walkers. I walked to/from the city along the banks of the river twice. Good facilities very nearby. I shopped at supermarket, had a hair cut, bought a present all within 50m of the Watson.

Cons:

Car parking near the hotel is a game of chance.

A comfortable stay during Gather Round
Pros:

We stay here often when visiting Adelaide. A comfortable stable for our family of 4

Cons:

All the need is some curtains over the sheer block out blinds!
